SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Three people who showed up at Singapore’s supreme court in T-shirts printed with a kangaroo dressed in a judge’s gown will be brought to court for contempt, Singapore’s attorney general said on Tuesday.

They had “scandalised the Singapore judiciary by publicly wearing identical white T-shirts, imprinted with a palm-sized picture of a kangaroo dressed in a judge’s gown,” the attorney general said.

The three, who were not identified, had appeared in court in May to watch an opposition leader cross examine two of Singapore’s most powerful leaders after he was found to have defamed them.
